Upper GI - Failed



Recommended Posts

So, I failed my upper GI. I had horrible heartburn the night before my test. I've seriously only had heartburn 3-4 times in my entire life. The test showed I had GERD. I've remained queasy and have had general tummy troubles for over a week now. My husband had a similar bug. Is it possible that I had a bug and my endoscopy in a week or so will come up clear?

My first choice is to get the sleeve, but will go for gastric bypass if necessary. Insurance has already approved the sleeve and I'll have to resubmit if I change surgeries. I was hoping for an early summer surgery so I can recover before I go back to work as a teacher.

Has this happened to anyone else? Need positive vibes, please.

Thanks :-)

I just had my EGD yesterday and I have had acid reflux for years that is managed with diet and over the counter omeprazole. My gastroenterologist said that as long as I did not eat large amounts and stuck to the recommended diet and portions I should not have problems with the sleeve.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
